I couldn't agree more Boeing. Thats where we are today.
The modern training syllabus is set by EASA and the UK training schools work within the boundary. If the CAA attempt to adjust the standard up unilaterally they can then be accused of over regulation.
If you don't like it lobby the CAA. I have.
I have complained about the narrowness of the current training.
I have also complained about the quality of some of the training. The response was that it meets EASA requirements.
Kenguan asked a valid question and I think he got an honest response.
I am no happier with the response than you.
There have been problems for years going back pre-EASA with "factory produced" licensed engineers. This issue is not new.
